Tank trailer airfoil structures and methods
11702150 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Apparatus and associated methods relate to an airfoil configured to be disposed at a distal end of a tank. In an illustrative example, the airfoil may be configured such that, when the tank travels at a predetermined minimum speed in a proximal direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tank, the airfoil coalesces off-coming air from the tank and distally repositions a low-pressure region downstream of the tank below a plane horizontal to the longitudinal axis. The region may be distally displaced, for example, by at least one of a length scale of the tank. A cross-section of the tank may, for example, define a substantially conic section. A span of the wing may, for example, be orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The wing may, for example, be below an upper surface of the tank. Various embodiments may advantageously reduce turbulence in the wake of the tank.

Tank trailer wrap

An aerodynamic wrap for use with a tank trailer illustratively includes opposing first and second side assemblies. In an illustrative embodiment, each side assembly includes an upper panel pivotably supported by the tank trailer, and a lower panel pivotably supported by the upper panel. A lower connecting member illustratively couples the lower panels of the first and second side assemblies under the belly of the tank trailer.

A tank trailer may include a hopper, an end housing forward or rearward of the hopper, and a slide plate inside the end housing. The slide plate may be configured to help prevent breakage along welds which secure the slide plate.

Cooking oil delivery system and method

A delivery system includes a transportation container for cooking oil carried by a delivery vehicle for filling a storage container located at a restaurant. A flexible conduit is temporarily connected between the transportation container and the storage container. The oil is pumped from the transportation container to the storage container. A pressure sensor, carried by the vehicle downstream the pump, monitors pressure in the storage container. A processor operates with the pressure sensor for determining a pressure level in the storage container and controls delivery of the oil for limiting a pressure level to a preselected value. The system waits a period of time and tests the pressure to allow the pressure in the storage container to equalize so that pressure in the conduit at the vehicle is the same as pressure in the storage container. The pressure level is used to establish the amount of cooking oil delivered.

HYDRO DEMOLITION UNIT
20220205192 · 2022-06-30 ·

A mobile vehicle mounted hydro demolition system comprising ultra-high pressurized water through a rotating nozzle water jet for cutting concrete, including a water supply, a vacuum blower, and a vacuum container that has offset with a dewatering bag so that incoming water can be pumped off as wastewater. A remote control gives an operator immediate adjustments of the rotational speed of the nozzle; the transverse traversing speed of the nozzle; the forward advancement of the vehicle; the number of traverses the head traverses before the vehicle advances its predetermined step; the pressure of the high-pressure pump; the amount of vacuum cfm's the blowers are producing; the steering of the vehicle; and the traversing distance of the rotating nozzle. By manipulating the above parameters the depth of removal is predictable and provides a consistent depth.
